Set Clip Length:


ago, candidate obama traveled to europe and said that he was not appearing as a candidate for u.s. president but as a fellow citizen of the world. mr. obama sees the world under his leadership as an active and interactive player as part of the international community. apparently the international community believes that we are and obama sees himself on center stage of that grade world amphitheater. the effect of this transformation is that america's popularity is now soaring. the percent of germans who viewed the u.s. favorably today is 64%, up 31% from 2008 poll. to the pugh, global the u.k., 69%, up from g last year. the french three-quarters, 75% of frenchmen now see america favorably versus 42% in 2008. so what is the big lever that has moved the seesaw of america's popularity so radically upward? acknowledgement of world citizenship? yes. but was it also this public apologetic admission by president obama? >> in america, there's a failure to appreciate europe's leading role in the world. instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet comm

that we lived and took a hold of. in may 1st segments i'll want to talk a little about president obama then briefly about the contest between obama and now secretary clinton we think we are familiar with barack obama he has been in our lives a lot since the remarkable speech since the boston convention in 2000 or what we will find is a deeper understanding of barack obama, strings and weaknesses, a type of character that he is, some of what he went through and and as you die just less has what he is going through write now. one thing that is important to always remember with barack obama at it in addition to ambition nobody runs for president if you were in the senate for only 12 minutes. [laughter] if you don't have ambition be he is very competitive one of the bus stories came from robert gibbs about when obama's a book "the audacity of hope" was published in 2006 which helped to create the build-up for his candidacy. obama wanted this to be a big best-seller so the book was about to come out and some of his staff said the book will do well be used to understand it is coming out lite

is two things, i want to talk about president obama and then i want to talk a little bit very briefly about the contest between president obama and now secretary hillary clinton. we all think we are very familiar with barack obama. he's certainly been in our lives a lot since he started running for president and since that remarkable speech at the boston convention in 2004. what we found and what we think you will find as you go through this book is a deeper understanding of barack obama both strengths and weaknesses, the type of character that he is, some of what he went through and we think that there is as you go through and digest this some relevance to what he's going through right now. obviously one thing important always remember about barack obama in addition to envision nobody runs for president particularly if you've only been in the senate for 12 minutes. [laughter] if you don't have a lot of ambition that he is also very competitive and i think one of the best stories we heard came from robert gibbs about when obama's book, the audacity of hope was published in full, 2006

, mississippi.org to see what we can do for you. >>> issue one, nick's obama care. >> socialists and you will not abandon the party. [ inaudible ] >> you have awakened sleeping giant. >> the voice of the people, the message, no on obama care. the president's effort to reform the healthcare insurance system, an effort that includes a government funded insurance agency is lagging. 49% of americans now disapprove of obama's health insurance vision. 43% approve. most worrisome is the growing detect from his block. 35%, over one out of three of independents are now more sympathetic to the town hall protesters. 16% less so. >> question, how do you explain the ranker, the town hall meetings are exhibiting, pat? >> there's real anger at the belief in middle america that they are experiencing the blunt of this recession. the politicians had that huge stimulous pigout. that is one thing. secondly, healthcare, they believe this reform is going to take away benefits they have. i tell you, as exhilarated by these democrats, calling them un-american, harry reid calling them evil mongers, other peo

: which was an easy act to follow for barack obama. but blaming the last guy doesn't last. does explaining bad news get to be too hard to sell. maybe reagan is right, when it is bad, just say this too shall pass. and what do we make of woodstock, is the spirit alive and at stake in obama. trish regan covers wall street. and richard stengel, the editor of "time" magazine. kathleen parker is a columnist. and then we have john heilemann. the president seems stalled. he doesn't like gettinged blame. >> when i walked in, we had a $1.3 trillion deficit. >> ronald reagan dealt with almost the same thing trying to get going in the midst of a recession. reagan's downturn started in july of his first year and it took 14 months to get to morning in america. here's reagan at the same point obama is at now. >> we're starting down a road that i believe will lead us out of the economic swamp we've been in. it'll take time for the effective tax rate reductions to be felt in increased savings, and productivity and new jobs. it'll take time for the budget cuts to reduce deficits. the thing to do is to hold

continue to support a nazi policy as obama has expressly supported this policy? why are you supporting it? >> a real solution. >> when you ask me that question, i am going to revert to my ethnic heritage and answer your question with a question -- on what planet do you spend most of your time? [applause] >> ma'am, trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table. i have no interest in doing it. >> you're going to bankrupt this country, you and the democrats, and you are making a mistake. you're going to in debt my generation and we're going to pay more taxes because of you, sir. >> let me respond. first of all, first of all, the biggest single waste of money in one fell swoop in federal history was the war in iraq. it was a terrible idea. bill: now, what frank did there is petty fog the issue. he introduced iraq when the war has nothing to do with the man's question on the present controversy. frank does that kind of stuff all the time. he does it here when he is presented with points he can't answer. the guy is right. by the way, the first wom

republican party is just determined to undermine president obama and unfortunately you have to undermine the country in order to undermine the president. i think that's too bad. >> i tried to catch up with chairman dean and ask him a question. he seemed to have changed his tune a little bit as he was coming into this event. you said last night that the republicans op ogse the president's health care initiative were undermining the country. could you clarify that? >> i did not say that. >> i have the quote right here, sir. >> sean, interestingly enough they handed out the george washington rules of civility when 3,000 people showed up here. but here's how chairman dean was introduced when he -- received when he was introduced. . >> this country spends -- -- i'm sorry, but i can't even hear the governor and i'm sitting next to him. they really don't belong here and i'm going to ask them to and i'm going to ask them to leave. [crowd shouting and chanting] >> one person was escorted out. anti-abortion activist randall terry as well as another gentleman who supported him, for disrupting. but

your experience covering the white house, president obama, w president clinton, had a unique relationship with senator kennedy, strained last year, but senator kennedy after the '94 election, going for the republicans, during the height of impeachment, came to president clinton and gave him unique insight and really important counsel. >> and it was senator kennedy who ran against the last democrat in office, jimmy carter. you covered the bush white house. it was senator kennedy who george bush came of a meeting and said he has grown to like him and has a lot of respect for him. he never made it to the white house, except in a guest capacity coming through the northwest gate, but you could argue, david that ted kennedy, for most of the adult lives of most of the americans alive has been that national political presence in this country. >> absolutely. brian williams outside the family compound, the kennedy family compound in hyannis port on the cape there. brian, thank you very much. you will, of course have much more on the life and legacy of senator kennedy tonight, a special

state -- won by 2% in the granite state. here is the concession speech by barack obama. . the yes, we can speech. a critical moment of testing for his speech writers, too. fascinating seeing them react and seeing him react. when they realized that the numbers weren't coming in, especially around the man chester area, there's this obviously stunned reaction inside his circle. and a handful take the long walk through the hotel to obama's suite where he and michelle obama were staying. david axel rod, the senior strategist, his campaign manager and otherors. and they knock on the door, david says, we've come up short. it looks like we're not going to make it. and they're all looking to see how he is going to respond. and they were surprised themselves. now, these guys were not exactly short of respect and adulation for their candidate. but they were surprised. his reaction was, what happened? what do you think happened? so they go through it and they say, well, there was a massive flip roonched. the undecided voters went for her. he said, well, let's pretty much give the same speech. obv

obama. they deeply resent him. is this about politics and economics or a challenge to his very legitimacy? dealing with his chin, did the ethnic pride of the sotomayor nomination expose the president's own? did the president's favoring a professor gates over the police sergeant expose an attitude? is this what the birthers are attacking? finally, presidential pardons, 35 years ago today richard nixon resigned the office on which he had set his heart. he spent the next 20 years struggling back. has bill clinton left under a far lighter cloud already cemented his comeback? i'm chris matthews. welcome to this show. trish regan covers wall street for nbc and cnbc. richard stengel is the editor of "time" magazine. kathleen parker is a "washington post" columnist and john heilemann covers politics for new york magazine. first up, president obama struggling. had i numbers are right on the 50-yard right now but the resistance to him is concentrated in a few groups. take a look inside the latest nbc-"wall street journal" poll. overall, 40% say they disapprove of the job he's doing. but

-oiled obama machine? >> the music stopped, but they are still dancing. i am stunned by a lack of perception that they have of the american people considering how closely they seem to be able to follow the mood of the public during the campaign. it is as if they moved to washington, turned off the water, put themselves in protective hearing in a soundproof booth, and they are not listening to what is going on. sean: we've gone through the list of names. unamerican. nancy pelosi and steny hoyer. political terrorists. brown shirts. now, harry reid, evil mongers. >> even dramatically, that is a mess. it is like it burped out of him. he is having political in digestion. sean: i agree with everything that was written on the blog. if you read the bill, and i wrote -- i read every page, they talk about the end of life counseling sessions. one of the chief advisers is rahm emanuel's brother. here's what he said. services provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being more becoming participating citizens, get this, are not basic, should not be guaranteed, and obvious -- an obvious

day ever his presidency. >> coordinate your care. >> just three months ago, april 29, barack obama's reservoir of political capital seemed inexhaustible. his approval rating 63%, the best 100-day approval rating since ronald reagan. health care 51% for his handling of the tender issue of health care. economy 60% for his handling of the economy. budget deficit 50% for his handling of the $1.8 trillion butch deficit. well, that was then. this is mow. -- now. next week, mr. obama will cross the finish line of his second 100 days and will cross the line limping not striding. his approval raiding is hovering just above the mid-way mark at 54% down from 63% in three months. that's his best news. health care, his approval rating is 42% down from 51% in three months. economy, his approval rating on handling the economy is now 38% down from 60% in three months. budget deficit, his approval rating is now 38%, do 50% in three months. question, why has obama's job approval rating dropped so precipitously? is there a generalized lack of confidence growing? pat buchanan? >> there is indeed beca

exploiting that country. are screwballs calling obama kenyan doing the party's dirty work? and nahria o'donnell and yuge gene robinson. and jennifer loven and howard fineman. president's experiencing rumors about health care. this seemed to throw the president a bit off balance at a town hall. >> i have heard lots of rumors going around. i have been told there's a clause in this that everyone is mead care age will be visited and told to decide how they wish to die. this bothers me a great deal. i like you to promise me this is not in this bill. >> the -- i guarantee you, first of all, we don't have enough government workers to send -- to talk to everybody. i think that the only thing that play have been proposed in some of the bills, and i actually think this is a good thing, is that it makes it easier for people to fill out a living will. chris: this week's "wall street journal" has a dramatic finding on what the president's persuasion has accomplished. the poll suggested that people that changed their minds since april had decided reform would make their own future care worse. there's

. the obama stop in washington dismissed the charges, calling them baseless. former u.s. ambassador to the united nations described the imprisonment as an act of state terrorism. when former president clinton arrived in pyongyang, he met with the chief negotiator then kim jong-il himself and later top leadership. within 24 hours, the north koreans announced mr. clinton had apologized for laura and euna's transgressions, and that both women had been pardoned and released. after the return trip, al gore saluted the president. >> we want to thank president bill clinton for undertaking this mission and performing it so skillfully. >> the white house says the trip was a quote unquote solely private mission. so described by white house press secretary robert gibbs. but ex-president clinton says the white house asked him to iothe mission. "i happy that r happafthat aft with their love. es their families, vice pridgoenndt ae rethe itwh house asked that itundertake this humanitarian mission, i agreed." and this makes it more official. national security advisor james jones from his office

in agitators as the obama posse would have you believe. real people. it's not just obama-care that has them riled up. it is the wholesale encroachment of government into their business and their health and their lives. let me map it out for you. in the real deal with dennis kneale. the weird thing is the stock market continues strong and undaunted as this populist revolt ignites american democracy. the dow today popping up 120 points, closing 40 points shy of 9400. the s&p 500 closing up past that 1,000 mark. the nasdaq rising within two points of 2,000. toll brothers posted the first year-over-year increase in orders for new homes in four years. the fed will keep rates low and improved the outlook then economy. productivity numbers were good and trade deficit was better than expected, especially for non-oil goods. oh, yeah a "wall street journal" survey of economists show most of them agree the great recession is over and done with! thanks, guys, where were you seven weeks ago when i first declared that on this show, the recession is ending right here and right now. stocks are hunting. you

. and his fight for civ rights but without which barack obama would not be our president today,ess because of the civil-rights legislation that the kennedys championed but if it were not for the redng the immigration act that was no longer based on quotas the family connectio and workability, back obama's fath probably would not have come here. >> i want todd that to big ones ithe80s were, in 1981 the first year he was back in the senate he ended up leading theight-- leading the fight for continuation of the voting rights act of 1965, arguably the most important. he ended up leading that and that wasis first year back in the senate. the civil-rights resration act which was a huge ended up becoming law in 1988. he started that in 1994, which goes to what susan said about he is willing to take the time to get it done. i would add one thing. the vote he said he is most brought up in his entire senate career was his vote against iraq. [applause] >> thank you all for an excellent book but i have one questi for any of you. if chappaquiddick had not happened you think ted kennedy would have becom
